Vote Will Infantine For alderman at-large in Manchester

October 29. 2013 5:50PMState Rep. Will Infantine keeps running for alderman at-large, and we are glad that he does. He would do well in the position, should the voters trust him with it.

Infantine is well-known in Manchester as a successful small-business owner (insurance), state representative and former chairman of the city Republican committee. He would still be city GOP chairman, but he stepped down to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest while he ran for alderman. He also stopped doing his public access TV show when he became chairman, again to avoid a conflict.

That kind of decision-making is why Infantine has a good reputation in town. And it is why he would make a good alderman at-large.

If elected to the board, Infantine would be a sensible advocate for spending restraint and good government. He served the people well on the recent city charter commission, and he would do the same as an alderman.
